  • Frequent Flyers

    We came up with a heavy screening process after 9/11 to thwart the possibility of another terrorist attack. Now, the Bush Administration is talking about giving “Frequent Flyer” passes to travelers who are constantly flying. I guess bitching pays off. So my question is this; won’t it be possible for a terrorist to get a…

  • Bachelor Parties

    Does the groom-to-be have sex (oral or whatever) while at their bachelor party? I think I have asked this question before. I can’t remember. I’m curious nonetheless. Is that the idea? I think brides-to-be just get shitfaced and puke. They might end up naked and covered in grass stains, but other than that, I don’t…

  • Godless America

    There is a show called Godless America on This American Life. If you haven’t heard it, check it out. It’s a really great show. (I’m particularly fond of Julia Sweeney’s story.)

  • Tomorrow, I’m Extra Special

    Tomorrow morning I’m getting up at 5 AM and heading into the city. Sometime yesterday, Toby wrote me to see if I wanted to be an extra in a movie. His boss’s wife is a producer and he was trying to find young, 30-something people to fill a few spots. Toby told him yes. And…

  • Ahhhhhhtkins

    I always found the Atkin’s Diet to be dangerous. It’s nice to see I am not alone. Who, in their right mind, suggests eating very few (if any) fruits and vegetables?

  • NPR — RIGHT NOW

    NPR is airing a show right now about independent journalists/blogs. There is a discussion taking place about validity, fact-checking, etc. And something occurred to me. It’s easy to read some blogs and, at the very least, not totally throw it away as a pack of lies when you’ve become so cynical regarding “real” journalists and…

  • SPD

    We just had a bunch of sign-ups over at SPD. I will be updating the site this evening. Just thought it’d be nice to share the information. If you’re reading this and you’ve been wondering, that’s the deal. Summer slackage, indeed. Now if only I could sell those bloody t-shirts. Anyone know of any good…

  • iPod + Volvo = 1 Happy mihow

    TJ and I are looking to buy a portable speaker/sound system for the beast of a car we just purchased. I was told there are a few that hook up to an iPod and sound good as well. Anyone have suggestions? The car has its original radio only. There are no bells and whistles (side…

  • Would This Make His Lies Impeachable?

    They make great gifts to give to Republican family members. Type Reads: Would This Make His Lies Impeachable? Email me at mihow at this domain dot com and I’ll get you set up.

  • A Volvo Does Not a Hippie Make.

    We sat on the front porch and waited for Ethan. He was bringing the title to me. The air-conditioner units from all thee floors above spit down on us and for a few minutes I mistook it for rain. Jason, our neighbor, showed up first. He lives on the first floor. We usually know when…
